Thank you my second-admentment advocate friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the ammoland.com web article 'Supreme Court 2A Case Will Make Gun Carry Legal Everywhere in US.
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Can the government stop you from carrying a concealed handgun in public? That’s the question before the United States Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen: “Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense.”
As the petitioners pointed out in their petition for writ of certiorari, “Perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question after this Court’s landmark decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller, and McDonald v. City of Chicago, is whether the Second Amendment secures the individual right to bear arms for self-defense where confrontations often occur: outside the home.” Petitioners argued that the “text, history, and tradition” of the Second Amendment do indeed secure this right.
'First and foremost, while claiming to take a "textualist" approach (at 7), the brief fails to confront the Second Amendment's clear statement that the right of "the people" to "bear" arms shall not be infringed. New York absolutely criminalizes the bearing of arms openly and issues licenses to carry arms concealed only to a selected few who the state deems to have "proper cause." Instead of bearing arms being the rule while carving out exceptions (such as for courthouses and legislatures), the brief argues that the right is not infringed because narrow exceptions are made for hunting and target practice (at 6). But that ignores that "self-defense … was the central component of the right itself," Heller, 554 U.S. at 599.'
Hopefully the Surpeme Court will rule smilar to their 2008 decision "in District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with “militia” service, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense.'

TSgt George Rodriguez - If it happens, we'll be stepping back into the 1800's where disputes were settled in the streets with guns.
